TO THE MINISTER FOR HOUSING
gj r _\Votild it be possible for the Minister in charge of the housing of the people of New Zealand to say definitely from his place in what is the law in relation to tho following question:—The landlord of a house, 1 understand, cannot legally raise the rent on a tenant who is occupying a house above 7 or 8 per cent, on the 1914 valuation but in the event of him getting the old tenant out and a new one m he may charge any rent be likes. As, for instance, here is a house, rent pre-war 18s a week, now £2. The representative of the labour Department informs (he writer that this is quite legal, but the M.P. says it is not, and never was, the mind of Mr. Massey on the question. Many people iv-e ohdurrog much hardship through tins. They have no homes, and are compelled to agree to any terms to get one. It is to be hoped that when Cabinet brings down their new legislation they will make a few ot the blood-sucking i’oMFq I am, etc., <-’ OOD HOMES.
